Fujitsu’s Series 8000 ATMs certified by Elan Financial Services
7/17/2002 - Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. announced today that its Series 8000™ Web-enabled automated-teller machines (ATMs) have been certified to operate on Elan Financial Services’ electronic-funds transfer (EFT) network. Elan Financial Services is part of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) and operates more than 6,000 ATMs nationwide.
“This certification means Fujitsu’s ATMs are ready to work for any financial institution whose ATMs are driven by Elan Financial Services, giving their customers the ability to go beyond traditional cash withdrawals and purchase phone cards, stamps, movie tickets and more,” said Neill Collins, Fujitsu’s vice president of financial systems. “This is a big step in providing Fujitsu’s Series 8000 ATMs to EFT networks nationwide.”
In order to achieve certification, Elan Financial Services tested Fujitsu’s Model 8040 through-the-wall, Web-enabled ATM to ensure successful core cash-transaction functionality and recovery from problems such as power failure.
“The innovative design and advanced features of Fujitsu’s ATMs significantly increase the ATMs’ value for owners and enhance the customer’s experience,” said Joe Posey, senior vice president and business line manager of Elan Financial Services.
Fujitsu’s Series 8000 ATMs are designed to operate off-premise, in the lobby, through the wall and in drive-up environments. The ATMs offer banks, credit unions and other financial service providers next-generation features, including:
- full Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, including the industry’s first text-to-speech synthesis for the visually impaired;
- a built-in Web browser that allows customers to use ATMs for the same banking transactions they currently conduct from their PCs, such as loan applications and bill payments;
- dispensing of cash as well as stamps, coupons, event tickets, credit card-sized gift cards and other non-currency media;
- large-capacity dispensers, fewer moving parts, universal components, low-maintenance thermal printers and color LCD displays that lower total cost of ownership;
- one of the world’s smallest footprints in a full-function ATM.
